You may disagree or not like his delivery, but Fiz is one of the few knowledgeable posters left of this board.

He doesn’t (and hasn’t lately) done a good job of showing it.
 

 It’s poo posts that have made most abandon this message board.

I’m not on here saying that he’s reached his final form or anything.  He has a lot more to prove if he is truly the QB1 for future.

 Last week, he was OK.  Not good, not bad.

but in general, he is trending significantly upward from where he was.  
 

Baker is a good comparison for why it does not make sense to give up on Bryce.  The NFL is hard.    And people develop at different paces.

I completely understand why that’s frustrating considering the trade but it’s all sunk cost now.    Just hope he turns into the best form he can. 

We aren't far apart here at all on our positions regarding the matter. Anyways most of us here want the same thing for our beloved franchise.

I will say though in regards to Baker he always passed the eye test in terms of his physical tools. That's what separates him from Bryce Young and what the biggest question mark is in regards to his future. He's got to prove he can consistently make those big time throws at all levels.

I'm just going to respectfully and vehemently disagree with you on this. The return on our investment needs to be significantly more than a game manager. If not then we keep looking. I do not believe that is remotely unreasonable.

I agree he needs to be more than a game manager. My point was that he's improving. He may take longer to get to what they wanted when they drafted him. If he's trending to be a franchise QB then you allow him time to become that. Does that mean he's meeting expectations as a #1 pick? No. But that doesn't matter anymore. Some guys take longer. Most guys take longer.

We scored 27 points against one of the best defenses in the NFL, and a few people are still whining about the offense. Nitpicking at its finest.

I don't give a crap about whether we run or pass the ball to get td's.  Last time I checked, both methods give you 6 points.  In truth, I thought we should have run the ball a little more earlier in the game in the red zone, but in the end, 27 points against a good defense is not bad.  And they all came off of long drives, no short drives after a turnover.  

Still need to do a lot of work on the defensive side, but the positive is they sacked Mahomes five times and and held them to 10 points in the second half.  Couldn't stop them with the game on the line, but then again, most teams don't stop Mahomes with the game on the line.
